This time, Zachary Shedd is stepping into the writer/director position with Americana, an indie take on the great San Francisco thrillers of the 1970s (think The Conversation or Dirty Harry). TFF alum David Call (Gabriel, Nor'easter) stars as Avery Wells, a recovering alcoholic who is trying to prove himself again as a film editor. When his movie-star sister (Rachel Brosnahan) is killed outside a party, Avery must find her murderer while dealing with his addiction.

After two years of fundraising and 32 drafts of the script, Shedd is ready to make his passion project with the aid of the Flies Collective…and indie film lovers like you! The trio is offering great rewards like a postcard from the set, a digital download of the film, swag designed by Amos Goldbaum and even a gift basket full of goodies from San Francisco!
